Efficient Query Evaluation on Probabilistic Databases

Summary: Efficient evaluation of complex SQL on probabilistic databases with rank-based results. Proposes an optimization algorithm that handles most queries; notes some are #P-complete, and offers approximation and Monte-Carlo methods for intractable cases.
